What is Reminiscence Therapy?
Reminiscence therapy is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals, particularly those with dementia or age-related memory loss, recall past experiences through sensory stimuli such as photos, music, and storytelling. This therapeutic technique fosters meaningful conversations, emotional well-being, and cognitive engagement by tapping into long-term memories, which often remain intact even as short-term memory declines.
